I have some sources inside Ubisoft (not the Devs) that I trust a great deal more than a bunch of people who hide behind made up internet names and spew forth irrational postings in just about every thread going.
But that's just me.
But ask yourself this question.
If you paid for the game knowing about DRM and you couldn't log on to the servers because of a hacker DOS attack... who is responsible for preventing you from logging on?

John is right.
This has to be the stupidest line of reasoning I have seen up to now on these forums.
Hackers attacked Ubisoft's servers preventing legitimate users from using their software and...Ubisoft is to blame?
I have a better analogy than the car one. You have a bus pass and take the bus to work every day. The buses goes by every 10 minutes. The bus company, being good businessmen, even add extra buses to handle the rush hour. One day, terrorists block an intersection and stop every bus for the whole day. You are unable to get to work and are not paid for that day. You may blame the bus company, but under any legal system, your only legal recourse is against the terrorists...good luck with that...
And before anyone starts cheering for the hackers as a bunch of freedom loving kids protesting big bad Ubisoft's DRM. You should know that most denial of service attack these days are made by organized crime who profit hansomely from them.
So think about who to blame, a legitimate business trying to provide you the service you paid for or the criminals who are preventing it and getting rich in the process...
